libcasper: document that most libcasper functions are not thread-safe

And neither are most libcasper services' functions, because internally
they all use cap_xfer_nvlist. cap_xfer_nvlist sends and then receives
data over a unix domain socket and associated with the cap_channel_t
argument. So absent synchronization, two threads may not use the same
cap_channel_t argument or they risk receiving the other's reply.

libcasper: Constify cap_sysctl_limit_mib() mib parameter

No functional change. Minor API change that is nicer for consumers. ABI is
identical; the routine never needed to modify the pointed to value

These complement cap_sysctlbyname(3) to provide a drop-in
replacement for the corresponding libc functions.

Also revise the libcap_sysctl limit interface to provide access
to sysctls by MIB, and to avoid direct manipulation of nvlists
by the caller.
